I think these graphics need more work; they don't look like much effort
went into them.  One must remember, when doing artwork, that there are 100
ways to portray anything, 3 good ways, and ONE best way, which very few
artists are able to achieve on the first effort.  I'd suggest drawing
several versions, walking away for a few days between efforts, then coming
back to appraise them with a fresh eye, at which point improvements will be
obvious.  There's no point in hurrying something that might be around
forever.
A player's connection to a game is via the icons; a good game deserves
good icons.
